Child Counselling
Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology | Menai and Sutherland Shire
Childhood is a time of rapid emotional, cognitive, and social development. While children are often resilient, they may need additional support to manage big emotions. At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology in Menai, our experienced child psychologists and counsellors provide compassionate, evidence-based child counselling in the Sutherland Shire for children experiencing emotional or social challenges.
Child counselling can help children understand and express their emotions, strengthen self-esteem and develop coping strategies. Therapy may support challenges such as anxiety, low self-esteem, separation anxiety, grief, emotional outbursts, or difficulties adjusting to family transitions. Early support can make a lasting difference, helping children feel understood, secure and more connected to those around them.
Parents or caregivers may consider therapy if their child shows signs such as frequent emotional outbursts, ongoing worry or sadness, sleep difficulties, social withdrawal, school avoidance, or trouble coping with family transitions. These behaviours may signal that your child is struggling and could benefit from professional mental health support.
Sessions at Evolving Minds, Menai are engaging, supportive, and focused on helping children manage emotions and build stronger relationships at home, school and in the community. We work closely with parents and caregivers, offering guidance around parenting strategies, communication, and emotional support. Family Counselling may be recommended when family dynamics are contributing to a child’s distress, or when working together can support meaningful, long-term change.
Our experienced child psychologists and therapists draw on a range of evidence based approaches, including play-based therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and family systems frameworks. Each session is individualised to your child's developmental stage and needs.
Sessions are available in person at our Menai practice, conveniently located in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire.
